They don't know our alphabet we know our alphabet , the signal was received and a computer made the print out , the numbers and letters are not the signal.
The circled alphanumeric code "6EQUJ5" describes the intensity variation of the signal. Each character represents 12 seconds (by 10 kHz). A space denotes an intensity between 0 and 1, the numbers 1 to 9 denote the correspondingly numbered intensities (from 1.0 to 9.9), and intensities of 10.0 and above are denoted by a letter ("A" corresponds to intensities between 10.0 and 11.0, "B" to 11.0 to 12.0, etc.). The value "U" (an intensity between 30.0 and 31.0) was the highest detected by the radio telescope; on a linear scale it was over 30 times louder than normal deep space.[1] The intensity in this case is the unitless signal-to-noise ratio, where noise was averaged for that band over the previous few minutes.[4]

The Wow signal printout only describes the signal that was received it is not the actual signal , that wasn't recorded.

Anyway, here's how I solved it.

Back on topic. Care to give us more information as to what you're talking about?

The message was sent from the moon where they've been since at least 1825. That's why it had a higher intensity. We had sent enough data into space that they intercepted they knew how we processed signals alphanumerically. After all, we sent in one language hoping to receive a reply in the same language. That's what happened. The signal swamped the local skies so that regardless where a dish was pointed it would pick it up. SETI assumed it came from the direction the dish was pointed in.
I said that my name, birthday and location were coincidence. Don't you read?
The proof is simple. Start left, go down, to centre, down etc. It's in the same format as a newspaper. Basically the letters are numbers. A=1, B=2 etc while being used to represent the names of the planets. I could have just said, "U=22 because that's it's position in the alphabet' but then I would have been hounded that aliens don't know our alphabet. So I've proven that U=22 to satisfy the critics. Blame your skeptic selves for the proof. I did it out of respect. No thanks have been forthcoming. Screw it. If you can't be arsed at following the statements don't blame me. The whole point of these messages is to test our intellect. What would they get from Neanderthals? We test our kids before they enter society. These guys are doing exactly the same thing. My dog can bark on command. That doesn't mean I'm going to debate Einstein with him. It could have been far more challenging. This is child's play. Try the Biblical prophecies. Same origin, different medium. We didn't have radio 4000 years ago so they used blocks of stone and chisels, dropped them off on a mountain and people like Moses found them.
Quick test: He (a) that comes after me (b) I prefer before me than he (c) before me. Put a, b and c in order. Explain why. That's one of their tests exploiting a flaw in our language and our concept of time. After = Before in certain contexts. Make the statement watertight.

If some advanced races out there are smart enough to shut down 10 minuteman missiles at the same time, remotely and wirelessly, like they did in Montana and elsewhere, then they would easily know our languages, and alphabets, and could send cryptic messages our way as well. If they are that smart, and even far smarter than we can even guess at, then they would know how our SETI receiving station would spit it out on paper, and could figure that all in to their 'wow' signal. Couldn't they?
Just food for thought

As has been pointed out already, the numbers and letters are to do with STRENGTH of the signal. NOT the actual signal received. It's not that hard to understand really.
As for the other stuff you said? Yeah, good luck with finding proof.
